The introduction of a device link to create a consumer/supplier relationship between the scsi device of an ATA device and the ATA port of that ATA device fixes the ordering of system suspend and resume operations. For suspend, the scsi device is suspended first and the ata port after it. This is fine as this allows the synchronize cache and START STOP UNIT commands issued by the scsi disk driver to be executed before the ata port is disabled. For resume operations, the ata port is resumed first, followed by the scsi device. This allows having the request queue of the scsi device to be unfrozen after the ata port resume is scheduled in EH, thus avoiding to see new requests prematurely issued to the ATA device. Since libata sets manage_system_start_stop to 1, the scsi disk resume operation also results in issuing a START STOP UNIT command to the device being resumed so that the device exits standby power mode. However, restoring the ATA device to the active power mode must be synchronized with libata EH processing of the port resume operation to avoid either 1) seeing the start stop unit command being received too early when the port is not yet resumed and ready to accept commands, or after the port resume process issues commands such as IDENTIFY to revalidate the device. In this last case, the risk is that the device revalidation fails with timeout errors as the drive is still spun down. Commit |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
